    He's basically a one year college starter in a new NFL system. It will take some time for him to learn the plays... some of them he may never quite get. But at least he has unlimited time to spend learning it, unlike in college where there are limits set. I'll look for the highlights of the Colts while he's playing for them. His career should be interesting to follow.

    He may develop faster than I thought but from last season he needs time.
    Throwing him to the wolves early seems a really bad idea.

    AR might lose his best offensive weapon before the season starts. Talk about being set up for failure.

    Yikes! Well at least we’ll get to see him trying his absolute best. Not sure we’ve seen that since this time last year

    It will be interesting to see how the Bills will test AR.
    As usual with the NFL, a poor showing will result in a reduction of snaps in practice and in exhibition games. Then again, a good showing, will keep AR in the spot light.

    Most of ARs big plays as a Gator were using his legs. He's not likely to get away with that in the NFL.

    I thought AR looked solid. Included in his 7/12 were a couple of drops.

    Watching Bryce Young in his debut with the Panthers. Three possessions and hasn’t moved the chains. Matt Corral going in midway through the second quarter.

    He should be used to that by now. Anyway the pick he threw was terrible but other than that not bad for his first NFL game action ever.

    His debut was certainly more noteworthy than Young’s or Stroud’s. Not sure about Levis’.

    First drive INT was a short drop, but with some pressure. Overthrew his receiver by a good 6 or 7 yards, not even close. Right into the defender's chest. I couldn't watch any more.

    Apparently it was the wrong route, the HC talked about it. They were happy how he played

    He looked good. Really hoping for him. Want to see him prove all the doubters wrong. Looks good for us that we had a top draft pick, especially if he succeeds early.
    Hopefully his critics will understand he’s young and will have his ups and downs.
